These are a nice step-up from the Little People, Big Dreams series by [a:Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara|14886582|Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1518331707p2/14886582.jpg] for kids who have outgrown those -- these are longer, for slightly more mature readers, but still have a similar look and feel to the Little People books.

(4) Ne connaissant rien de Maya Angelou avant la lecture de ce livre, je trouve cette collection drôlement efficace. Le format ainsi que le monopole de certaines couleurs me charmaient déjà et le contenu dédié au militantisme de l'artiste fait clairement son boulot. En revanche, difficile de me convaincre du fait que cet album soit destiné aux plus petits au vu des très nombreuses informations qui, ici, concernent les très nombreuses injustices commises à l'encontre du peuple noir. Si c'est un pan de l'histoire qui ne doit certainement être occulté et amoindri, l'importance du texte pourra sans doute perdre plusieurs enfants au passage selon moi. En revanche, mention spéciale à la frise chronologique de fin qui résume brillamment le tout ainsi qu'au glossaire qui permet d'expliciter des termes retrouvés tout au long des pages. Curieuse d'en découvrir plus sur cette collection !

This lovely little book is an easy read guide of Maya Angelou and gives a snapshot to the timeline of her incredible life.
This book would be perfect for children wanting to learn about who she is and what she did for the Black community.
The illustrations are gorgeous and vibrant and the timeline at the back of the book is perfect. There is also a glossary at the back too, for any word that would be new to you, a nice touch.
I have one of her books on my to buy book list, and will be purchasing that very soon.

This book was an incredibly lovely read. I love reading children books that focus on educating them on great people that have impacted our history as human beings because I myself, as an adult, feel like I need to keep on checking myself and my privilege everyday, and these books sure help me do that. It was short yet concise. The illustration style was very unique and complementary to the story and overall aesthetic of the book.
